• Safe Search - scans your search results and places a safety rating next to each link, letting you know which sites can be trusted and which ones are to be avoided.
• Cloud anti-virus - scans any files and APKs to detect viruses directly from your Chrome browser & Chrome book. Latest security threats are always up-to-date in the AVG cloud.
• Mobile Control Panel - find your lost or stolen Android smartphone or tablet, lock or wipe it remotely from your Chrome browser & Chrome book
• Safe Surf - scans web pages in the background every time you type a web address, before you enter. If the page is infected, it prevents you from opening it.
• AVG Mobilation software automatically updated without the need to download new software.

I may be wrong, but for what I could see, rates will only be provided when a link is deemed to be dangerous only.

That said, I'll keep my relatives with AVG LinkScanner instead, because I also have them running BitDefender TrafficLight extension, and obviously TL's ratings won't appear.

-edit-

Odd. I just checked the link that AVG Mobilation Safe-Search flags, for the dl.dropbox.com search results, against AVG LinkScanner Safe-Search. The latter displays a clean result. So does AVG LinkScanner Surf-Shield.

I have had problems with AVG programs uninstalling. I'll have to skip this but it looks neat.

I know a few people who have had similar problems with uninstalling AVG. I would have thought an extension should uninstall cleanly. But I have the same fears as you do. It looks like a nice extension idea though, but I think it may be a bit surplus to requirements in many ways.

Tried it. Did not install on chromium build( downloaded a week back or so) on ubuntu.
Installed on chrome on XP. Can,t see any ratings. I downloaded few malqware samples from MDL, none flagged or interrupted.

Concept is very nice but not working so far. Expect more AVs to release such addons. They have benefit in the sense that they are relatively OS independent( you might install on linux, windows, OSx etc). Little resource usage. Cloud based analysis. Little or no conflict with installed AV. I like the idae indeed.
